CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Federal prosecutors say a New Hampshire man has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to possessing and distributing child pornography.

Fifty-seven-year-old Dana Moody of New Boston was sentenced Wednesday.

Prosecutors say the investigation started in November of 2011 when the FBI was notified that an undercover officer with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force had intercepted images of child pornography being transmitted by a computer in New Boston.

Authorities say a search of Moody's computer found several thousand images of child pornography.
